Episode 213: What you CAN do when you CAN'T control something
from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

It’s about what happens when we logically know we can’t control something—our weight, a craving, a body change in perimenopause—but that knowing does nothing to actually make us feel better.So what do you do when you feel totally powerless?That’s what this episode is about.✏️ The list I wrote💥 What to do with the griefof not having control✅ And the unexpected outcome of writing down exactly what you can control—even when it changes absolutely nothingI love this episode and hope it connects with you!Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
